There is a GotoPage method on the Viewer object. Then you could control the
page list going to the printer to print only the pages that are after this
page number by using the ppTextToPageList method that main reports demo #124
uses.

{print pages 1 and 30 }
ppTextToPageList('1,30', Report.PrinterDevice.PageList, True);

change to:

{print pages 1 through 30 }
ppTextToPageList('1-30', Report.PrinterDevice.PageList, True);

Hi Jim,
let me try to explain better than before, all reports of my project are
stored in the database using report explorer and autosearch panels to
control the report.
This report i'm trying to make an page offset, like PageNumber := PageNumber
+ Variable1.Value, but the variable1.value must be set by the end user, just
like an autosearch field/panel.

I solved the problem creating a pass-thru function to InputQuery, but isn't
the best user friendly way to get some value.

Tnks anyway....

Cool, you've got it, the RAP pass through is probably the easiest way, since
the report is a template saved on the database.
